Testo Omie Wise - Greg Graffin
Testo della canzone Omie Wise (Greg Graffin), tratta dall'album Cold As The Clay
Come listen to my story, I'll tell you no lies
How John Lewis did murder a little Omie Wise
He asked her to meet him at Adams's spring
Said he'd bring her money and other fine things
So fool-like she met him at Adams's spring
No money he brought her nor other fine things
John Lewis, John Lewis, won't you tell me your mind
Do you intend to marry me or leave me behind?
Little Omie, Little Omie, I will tell you my mind
My plan is to drown you and leave you behind
Have mercy on my baby and spare me my life
I'll go home as a beggar and never be your wife
He hugged her and he kissed her and turned her around
And threw her in deep water where he knew that she would drown
It was on one Thursday morning the rain came pouring down
And they searched for Omie's body but it nowhere could be found
Two boys went a fishin' one fine summer day
And they saw little Omie's body go floating away
They called for John Lewis to come to that place
So he could see her body and they could see his face
Though he made no confession they threw him in jail
No friend nor relation would go on his bail
